Preschool for VJ

This was VJ's first week at preschool. He picked out a new "Cars" backpack to bring his essentials. :-) He is looking through the gate to the playground area, then inside he is demonstrating his water fountain skills! The close up is after preschool when he is tired.
VJ enjoys his school time and Noah, Katy, and I enjoy uninterrupted school time at home.

Basketball 101

The kids just got a basketball hoop last week. Every evening Raf is giving them lessons and VJ runs around in circles with excitement.

Noah is Eight!!!

These pics are from August 22, 2008, Noah's eighth birthday. We aren't having his party until Monday the 25th, so we spent his birthday morning at the Botanical Gardens. The kids wore their swimmers and enjoyed the "water rocks". If you look closely at Noah you can see he recently lost his two front teeth! I think each pic shows a little bit of their individual personalities!
